Описание: What Are Loan Translation Words Also Known As Calques? Have you ever wondered how languages influence each other through words and expressions? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about calques, also known as loan translation words. We'll start by defining what calques are and how they are formed by translating parts of foreign phrases into native language components. You'll learn how these expressions are created by translating each element directly, rather than borrowing the original foreign words intact.

We'll discuss examples like "Adam’s apple" from the French "pomme d’Adam" and "flea market" from "marché aux puces," illustrating how these phrases retain their original meaning while adopting native sounds and spelling. Additionally, we'll explore different types of calques, including lexical, phraseological, syntactic, and semantic calques, to show how languages adapt and grow through translation.

Understanding calques is essential for anyone interested in language development, translation, or cultural exchange. Whether you're a language learner, translator, or simply curious about how languages influence each other, this video will provide clear explanations and interesting examples.
